Hi, Well, as far as the Windows release goes anyway. In order to fix that problem I need to rewrite the window manager module to create a window without a menu bar. This isn't an issue with the Linux release as the latest build of the Linux build of the engine now uses SDL as the default window manager and there is no menu bar in that build of the engine. If I can successfully port that engine to Windows the problem would be solved. If not I'll have to look to using Direct3D instead of the Win32 API for the window manager.
